Exploring the Realverse: Building, Deploying, and Managing QoE in XR Communications
Pablo Pérez · 2022
Immersive communication based on extended Reality (XR) is foreseen to be the next step in human communication. For that challenge, we propose the “Realverse”: an approach where physically distant people can interact as if they were in the same physical space. This can be achieved by implementing a distributed reality solution, including four fundamental elements: remote presence, embodied interaction, visual communication, and shared immersion. In this paper we describe our recent research and approach to this topic, as well as its implications in terms of implementation, network architecture, and quality of experience. We also propose some insights for future standardization efforts.
